Our story

About us

We are a small British brand on a simple mission: to make the best bamboo socks in the world. Softer, more breathable and kinder to the planet than the cotton pair in your drawer.

We got tired of bad socks.

Panda Food was founded in London in 2023 with one clear aim. We were tired of socks that slipped, bobbled and left our feet hot and sweaty, so we set out to make a genuinely better everyday pair from bamboo, and to do it without the plastic the industry hides behind.

Plastic-free, not just plastic-light.

The clothing industry runs on single-use plastic. We do not. Every Panda Food order arrives in 100% plastic-free packaging: recyclable, compostable, and good enough to gift.

No greenwashing.

Bamboo is fast-growing and renewable, and our packaging is genuinely plastic-free. We are not going to tell you a sock saves the planet. We will tell you it is a better sock, made more responsibly.

Four things we will not compromise on.

Comfort obsessed

We start with the fabric, not the pattern. Bamboo feels closer to silk than cotton: soft, breathable and temperature-clever.

Genuinely sustainable

Fast-growing bamboo, and 100% plastic-free packaging on every single order. No greenwashing, just fewer plastics.

Honest and British

A small London team who would rather stand behind every pair than over-promise. If it is not right, our guarantee makes it right.

Loved by thousands

Over 40,000 customers and a wall of five-star reviews. We read every one, and keep making the socks better.

Panda Food, founded in London

Founded in London, 2023.

We started Panda Food with one clear aim: to make the best bamboo socks in the world. This guides everything we do, from product design and manufacturing to packaging and after-sales service.

"We obsess over our fabric. Most people never think about their socks, right up until they pull on a pair that is properly better."

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot
These socks are just perfect. The fit, the length, the feel. I'm autistic and struggle to find clothing I like, but these have become my favourite socks.
Michael
Incredible on big walks (10–30km), solid cushioning and support throughout. Gym 3–5 times a week in them too, and no sign of wear.
Andy Taylor
Beautiful quality and super soft, with the perfect thickness under walking boots. Genuinely the best socks I've ever bought.

Super comfortable, soft and breathable. They don't fray and last a long time, I've replaced all my other socks with them.
Paul Pearson
Top quality and very stylish bamboo hiking socks. Very comfy, and lots of friends asking where they can get a pair!
